Soo...what can I say, my little bro is a stud.  First year hunting, and he bags a bear and a nice turkey.

At any rate, it was a great trip.  We both got turkeys!

So, long story short, my bro had to belly crawl for 70+ yards, and then take a 50 yard shot to bag his bird.  Pretty amazing.....and I was quite impressed. 

For my bird, we saw a flock running up a hill, so I circled around and my bro called it back to me. 

I'll post more late, but I figured I'd post a pic of my turkey (only a jake) and a couple pics of him stalking.....what can i say, we were mentally exhausted by the last day, and just goofing off!  LOL

I'll give a full report / story later, but I need to get packed yet another biz trip......to be continued.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
